City Manager Kimberly Hines proposed launching 'Gladwin Gathers' as an ongoing community program that would include pumpkin painting for children, downtown pumpkin displays, and seasonal recreational features at North Park such as a family skate rink and sledding hill. Hines suggested involving the local CTE program to rebuild a Santa Claus house as part of the program.
DPW Supervisor Jeff Graham said he has obtained quotes for a North Park pavilion. Hines suggested that funds could be reallocated from the park sign and foot‑bridge budgets to cover the pavilion cost. The committee discussed the idea but the transcript records no formal budget reallocation, appropriation, or project approval during the meeting.
